Navigation and browsing is considerably faster now. Post submit is quick also. And -- we have a "currently active users viewing" at the bottom. Love it.

phpBB isn't better. vBulletin is actually the best. A better theme would certainly do. :) This dull theme was actually created by me to keep the server load low because it is very light.

I like to show my love for this forum.
Can I donate a small amount to the server costs ?

hehehe Faun, that's admirable. but this is privately owned entity. I do not think they'd accept any donations :)

phpBB is open source, but it is not better. Upgrading, modding phpBB is pain :duh2:

Atleast a better theme then - better theme does not necessarily mean higher resources - I am sure there are light themes available out there with a slightly better layout and softer colors..

Not in my hands as I'm not the one who has access to the server.

Well atleast we have the ads gone. This theme is more like Windows 95 in Windows 7 era.

Only thing we need is, using images in sig. That's one handicap this forum has.

So have all the problems been sorted out now? ico talk to me about the theme... we need to fix that. Will also look into VB4, but no concrete promises, since I still don't see the need for it just yet.

Oh and remember to let me/ico know of any existing bugs...

Have a look at this post: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/community-discussions/132803-we-going-under-revamp-7.html#post1335505

The way the advertisements are implemented on the right (for guests and non-active members), it breaks a couple of things.

Well last few days I wasn't able to access TDF (on BSNL broadband) and today I thought there's something wrong. I tried proxyip and it opened! So, after being a regular member after so many years, TDF suddenly becomes inaccessible to me? Well i also see the new sign "we are shifted to new server". Could this be the issue? Can it be solved? I'd really like to be able to access this forum without proxy.

Hi everyone... specially Forum admins...
Yeah.. the forum is working on a turbo boost :)
Been experiencing the "fastness" from quite a few days, but wanted to confirm the stability, and it sure is out of the Beta phase now :toast:

Godspeed ;)

PS: Enjoyed witnessing the fight between ico and Raaabo b/w double post :fencing: :-D

It works faster than before. But theme needs a change. Its kinda old and boring please change if you can. Well I am not going anywhere even if you don't change theme. Love this forum very active and most importantly helpful. Members are friendly even to a new one like me.

Update - It opened with proxy browsing today (almost after 10 days maybe)! Hope it stays this way.
